“In assay” refers to a gold bar that includes a certified assay card verifying its authenticity, weight, and purity. The card, typically sealed with the bar, ensures the gold meets stated standards, such as .999 or .9999 fine gold.
For secondary market gold bars, such as this 2.5 gram bar, the bars may come without the original assay card or packaging. These bars are still tested and verified for purity and weight but are sourced from the secondary market, meaning they may show signs of handling or be removed from their original packaging. This allows for a more cost-effective option while still delivering the same trusted gold content.
